A Balanced Routing Protocol Based on Machine Learning for Underwater Sensor Networks

An underwater sensor network (UWSN) is a wireless network that is deployed in oceans, seas, and rivers for real-time exploration of environmental conditions. The network is used to measure temperature, pressure, water pollution, oxygen level, volcanic activity, floods, and water streams. Although ra...
